About

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning is a farming simulation game for the Nintendo 3DS video game console. As the new farmer in town, it is your job to use your farm and its resources to revitalize a once-popular town. You can grow crops and raise animals, as well as interact with villagers and possibly get married.
Storyline

Once a thriving town, Echo Village is almost empty after the inhabitants lost everything in a poor economy. Your parents recently offered you a chance to renovate the abandoned family farm, but reviving a successful ranch requires rebuilding the town. Can you find the materials and blueprints that allow you to create the best community in the land?
